Some of the finest images to be shown on this site. You should be very proud of these shots Alan.

Maybe colour reversal or is that the same as slide film? Both good captures. Maybe the difference between Northern and Southern hemisphere or is that the wine speaking....

Enjoy what's left of your Sunday, mine is all but finished.

The Sea Vixen shot stands out for me. Excellent scene overall and very fitting.

It's the temperature terminal. It is normally referenced to the common or 0v (-) terminal. Should a fault occur or the charger fail and cause an overcharge to the battery, the temp internal (to the battery)sensor detects the rise in battery temperature and terminates the charge.

Some brands actually have the letter T on that terminal so it would read - T + repectively.

If it's as good as the word on the street says it is, 1500 to 2K should be expected. If the better Pentax glass sells at really high figures, the spin off may be of benefit the lesser respected lenses in the range. It’s pointless to state that a particular lens is a singularly fine example of its type and expect to pay a low price for it.

The current Nikon 200mm macro sells for around 1300 in the UK so if the Pentax is better, it should have a 1300 starting price. If, and it’s a big if, the next K(top end) happens to be a 135 format body, the prices of 135 format Pentax glass should sky rocket. Those 15mm and 28mm shift lenses will suddenly shine.

Good work Don. What lens?

Great images and good detail. Some lovely examples captured here.

There are those that use really long telephoto lenses that say lens stabilisation helps when metering as the image presented to the camera metering is stable as against in camera stabilisation whereby any movement across the metering points due to not having a stable image causes changes in the metering.

For short reach glass there seems to be no difference. Minolta developed the system as it was cheaper than re-engineering their lenses.

I like the term old technology though as we can apply that to our M42, K, M and A series lenses since they are also left over from the film days which odly enough never ceased as there are those on this forum that still use film.
